Child Development and Education
My areas of expertise in child development and education are on:
a) illustrations of influences of children’s sociocultural contexts on
their development and education;
b) children’s play and its role in their learning and development;
c) contributions of children’s family and school relationships to their
cognitive, moral, and social-emotional development;
d) relations among classroom design, curriculum, and children’s
appropriation of cultural tools such as literacy and numeracy;
e) connections between children’s power-relations and their learning;
f) institution of a sense of community, fairness, and equity in the
classroom; and
g) application of developmental and educational theories to classroom
practice.
